The first fishing spot that you’ll reach in the game is next to the Lakebar Village in Lakebar, the same place where you unlock Trade Skills.

To find fishing spots, open up the World Map and look at the Trade Skills info bar at the top-right corner of the window. If there’s a fishing hook icon in the info bar, there are fishing spots on the selected map.

The exact location of the fishing spots on the selected map is also marked with a fishing hook icon, as shown in the image below.
